Stoma Care

Stoma care is an essential part of personal care services for individuals who have undergone surgery that results in the creation of a stoma. At Trustful Hands Our stoma care service ensures that the stoma remains healthy, clean, and free from infection while also helping individuals manage their new routine comfortably and confidently.

Key services included in Stoma care:
Cleaning and Maintenance
  • Proper hygiene is essential to prevent infections. Carers ensure the stoma area is cleaned gently with warm water and pat dried, avoiding harsh soaps or alcohol-based products.
Changing the Stoma Appliance
  • Regular appliance changes help maintain skin integrity and prevent leaks. Carers assist with emptying and replacing the stoma bag as per individual needs and healthcare guidelines.
Monitoring for Complications
  • Carers are trained to observe signs of infection, skin irritation, leakage, or unusual changes in the stoma. Any concerns are promptly reported to healthcare professionals.
Diet and Hydration Monitoring
  • A balanced diet and proper hydration help in stoma management. Carers ensure clients follow dietary recommendations to prevent dehydration, excessive gas, or digestive discomfort.
Preventing Blockages
  • Carers provide guidance on foods that may cause blockages, encourage slow eating and adequate chewing, and monitor any symptoms of obstruction, such as bloating or cramps.
Emotional and Psychological Support
  • Adjusting to life with a stoma can be challenging. Carers offer reassurance, encourage independence, and provide emotional support to help clients feel confident and comfortable in their daily routines.
Benefits of Professional Stoma Care
  • Prevention of Complications: Proper stoma care reduces the risk of infections, skin irritation, blockages, and other complications. Caregivers monitor for early signs of issues and help manage them before they become serious.
  • Increased Comfort: Ensuring the stoma appliance is well-fitted and the surrounding skin is cared for helps maximise comfort and reduce the likelihood of leaks, odours, or irritation.
  • Independence and Confidence: With proper guidance and assistance, individuals can learn to manage their stoma care independently, leading to greater self- confidence and a higher quality of life.
  • Emotional Support: Dealing with the emotional impact of living with a stoma is an important aspect of care. Caregivers offer the empathy and support necessary to help individuals adapt to their new circumstances.
  • Holistic Health Management: Stoma care is just one part of comprehensive personal care, which may also include assistance with daily hygiene, medication management, mobility support, and more. Caregivers ensure that all aspects of health and well- being are taken into account.
